      mm lockless pagecache barrier fix · e8c82c2e
      Nick Piggin authored
      An XFS workload showed up a bug in the lockless pagecache patch. Basically it
      would go into an "infinite" loop, although it would sometimes be able to break
      out of the loop! The reason is a missing compiler barrier in the "increment
      reference count unless it was zero" case of the lockless pagecache protocol in
      the gang lookup functions.
      
      This would cause the compiler to use a cached value of struct page pointer to
      retry the operation with, rather than reload it. So the page might have been
      removed from pagecache and freed (refcount==0) but the lookup would not correctly
      notice the page is no longer in pagecache, and keep attempting to increment the
      refcount and failing, until the page gets reallocated for something else. This
      isn't a data corruption because the condition will be detected if the page has
      been reallocated. However it can result in a lockup.
      
      Linus points out that ACCESS_ONCE is also required in that pointer load, even
      if it's absence is not causing a bug on our particular build. The most general
      way to solve this is just to put an rcu_dereference in radix_tree_deref_slot.
      
      Assembly of find_get_pages,
      before:
      .L220:
              movq    (%rbx), %rax    #* ivtmp.1162, tmp82
              movq    (%rax), %rdi    #, prephitmp.1149
      .L218:
              testb   $1, %dil        #, prephitmp.1149
              jne     .L217   #,
              testq   %rdi, %rdi      # prephitmp.1149
              je      .L203   #,
              cmpq    $-1, %rdi       #, prephitmp.1149
              je      .L217   #,
              movl    8(%rdi), %esi   # <variable>._count.counter, c
              testl   %esi, %esi      # c
              je      .L218   #,
      
      after:
      .L212:
              movq    (%rbx), %rax    #* ivtmp.1109, tmp81
              movq    (%rax), %rdi    #, ret
              testb   $1, %dil        #, ret
              jne     .L211   #,
              testq   %rdi, %rdi      # ret
              je      .L197   #,
              cmpq    $-1, %rdi       #, ret
              je      .L211   #,
              movl    8(%rdi), %esi   # <variable>._count.counter, c
              testl   %esi, %esi      # c
              je      .L212   #,
      
      (notice the obvious infinite loop in the first example, if page->count remains 0)

      get rid of the last symlink in uml build · 22409f9c
      Al Viro authored
      We need to make asm-offsets.h contents visible for objects built
      with userland headers.  Instead of creating a symlink, just have the
      file with equivalent include (relative to location of header) created
      once.  That kills the last symlink used in arch/um builds.
      
      Additionally, both generated headers can become dependencies of
      archprepare now, killing the misuse of prepare.
